Who was Ferrante III Gonzaga, Duke of Guastalla?
Ferrante III Gonzaga was Duke of Guastalla.
He was the son of Cesare II Gonzaga, Duke of Guastalla and Duke of Amalfi and Isabella Orsini.
He succeeded his father in 1632.
On June 24, 1647, Ferrante III married Margherita d'Este, daughter of Duke Alfonso III d'Este of Modena and Isabella of Savoy.
They had 2 daughters :
Anna Isabella, married in 1670 Charles IV Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua and Monferrato.
Maria Vittoria, married her cousin Vincenzo Ganzaga, Duke of Guastalla in 1692.
When Ferrante III died without male heir, the Duchy of Guastalla became officially a part of the Duchy of Milan, but was ruled by Charles IV of Mantua between 1678 and 1692. Due to Austrian intervention, the Duchy then passed to Vincenzo Gonzaga, husband of the second daughter.
